SIAM EXTENSION 
FUND. 


This Fund is simply to be the means 
by which Presbyterians are seeking to 


do their duty by the 


8,000,000 people of 
SIAM. 


How long have Presbyterian Mis- 
sionaries worked in this field? Since 


1840.

SIAM if Presbyterians do not see that 


it is done?’ No one. 


Why is this true? Because Siam has 
no other Missions working in it than 
those: of ‘the “Presbyterian Church: 
Us. Ae 


It is a tropical, Buddhistic field and 
one of the most difficult in the world. 
Missionaries of other Boards have en- 
tered Siam, but the field has been leit 


to us.

Nearly 800,000 inhabitants. 
The heart of the entire country. 
All national life centers in this City. 


All interests of Government and Ad- 
ministration are focused in Bangkok as 
they are in no other capital city of the 
world. 


“A missionary work which would 
successfully influence this City would 
make itself felt to the ends of Siam.” 


“Where else in the world does the 
Christian Church have presented to her 
the opportunity in a single community 
of moulding a Nation?” 


VES DEL ae RES Ne 
SITUA LION? 


“Not one missionary at the present 
time is free to devote himself to its 
direct evangelization.” 


An adequate system of preaching 
places must be established in Bangkok 
under competent supervision so that 
the hopeless masses shall be drawn into 
Christian congregations.

NORGELER NGS TAM: 


In the far north at Chieng Rung the 
people have long begged that a mis- 
sionary come to live and teach among 
them. There will be in-gatherings 
from the very beginning. 


CHIENG RUNG will give a focus 
for work in a wholly new field. 


AGWOS> [EE DORKDER, LN 
GCEINZS: 


5,000,000 people of the same Tai race, 
speaking Siamese, dwell further north 
in China. These must be reached from 
Siam. 


Glimmerings of Christian truth have 
reached these people and they have 
asked pitifully that they might have 
further teaching. 


Up to this time the Mission and the 
Board have been able to do nothing 
except investigate and confirm the most 
enthusiastic reports from this territory. 


STRENGTHENING OF EXISTING 
MISSION STATIONS. 


In South Siam the present Mission 
Stations are: 
BANGKOK, PETCHABURI, TAP 
TEANG, NAKAWN@and seis - 
ANULOKE. 


In North Siam the established Sta- 
tions are: 

CHIENG MAI, LAMPANG (LAK- 

AW IN) PRE INOANEa nds CEN. 
RAT, 


Every one of these Stations is capa- 
ble of enlarging and intensifying its 
present evangelistic work and in the 
case of the older Stations, immediate 
in-gatherings would result. 


These established stations are cen- 
tres of great districts that cannot ade- 
quately be covered by the missionary 
force now in Siam.
